We never seem to do well in deals for our best players. Out with McGrath we have lost talent like McGinn, McLean, Mallon, McGennis and Morgan all for less than a million quid collectively. Now thankfully the board at the time inserted a sell on for John M but the rest have left for really poor fees. We obviously didn’t get told how much hibs paid for Kyle but it won’t have been much. It frustrates me when I see other clubs getting really good money for their best top talent

Brophy absolutely deserves time and support
perhaps Dennis is a decent back up but he’s hardly had any time

I believe we are trying to get the best deal we can for McGrath , and we are also looking to offload another three , either loan or permanent. Don't think they'll be any in until there's movement out !
That’s fair enough I hope we get a deal that allows us to add quality and avoid a problem as we need to avoid a relegation battle

Norrie that's a rant based on pure speculation. Understandable, I know but what do you want them to say? The setup we have is that like most Premiership clubs the football side is in the hands of the MD and the Manager. They will talk when when something is happening and not before. Don't get stressed by something out of your control.
Well how about the board front up and speak to the fans at an AGM?
-
What I’m saying is that for not a lot of money we were preparing to sell our best player at the last minute . Do you trust that this window will deliver the quality required to stay clear of a relegation battle? I’m not convinced.
-
The club at boardroom level is a mess the silence is incredible. AGM ? Face the fans ? What’s going on. Whilst this is happening let’s not kid ourselves that it won’t impact on the park too. Remember this was a board that was looking to punt McGrath for peanuts on the last day in August window
-
Jim and the board simply must have a plan to find better forward options. We have only won 5 home games in 18 months and that is not good enough. Forget too six that’s a joke now given how we’ve fell away.The fact is that we haven’t won in 12 and whilst Celtic home was a tremendous effort it is clear we need goals and sadly the signings Jim has made in forward areas have not been successful. Brophy is the only guy who has any quality. The others need to go as Jim doesn’t fancy them clearly seeing as their game time has been restricted

Anybody know what the situation is with Dylan McGeouch at Aberdeen? Used to be a cracking player at hibs, must still be in his 20s too.
McGrath has been very poor latey and I would quite happily do a swap with Aberdeen involving a fit Kennedy and McGeouch, same with Hibs for Allan etc.This Kennedy lad is a myth. Ryan Flynn had him in his back pocket during his last season at st Johnstone I’m sorry but I fail to see the attraction. Jim should play through McGrath not over his head .

Terrible deal all round . Hope he goes south and if he has any ambition he will. They are playing tonless than 10 thousand most weeks and to progress he needs to test himself down south

Scottish Teams Wages - Salford’s are also available. https://footballleaguefc.com/category/player-wages/amp/
So it’s last season wages - we finished 7th and I think since then we have increased our budget as you’d expect . I’d also struggle to see how Livingston were paying 2500 to a defender - and if power was on 1500 at Kilmarnock is he playing for 750 at us? In short I don’t trust this information

To be honest it wouldn't surprise me wage wise as for instance Matty Willock who we had on loan few years back is on near 1k at Salford. If you put his name up along with salary it will give an idea as to what he is paid, also rest of squad at Salford (2021). It certainly shows the gulf in finances wage wise, and thats lg2. We are paying less than teams like carlisle utd.
How do you know? That’s not what I heard. In fact I’m told we’re paying decent money to some. McGrath signed on a lesser wage as he was coming from a league that is not a top European league and he was at that point untested in Scottish football
-
I think it’s clear we are v much in the relegation battle once again. Poor squad balance has left us floundering in the jan window with our best player probably leaving. Gogic is a decent player but not what we need not that I think Ethan offers much. Power whilst not brilliant is our best defensive midfielder . Let’s be honest we can’t score goals often enough and that must be our aim to find someone even on loan to fire us to safety and avoid the traditional scrap

Wonderful

Was huge ask today following the effort expended in Wednesday night. We have a point from two games when usually we get nothing. I was proud of the team on Wednesday night and today it was always a hard shift. That said I’d be tempted to see if anyone would pay cash for Ethan aa I’m unsure of what he actually does. Kiltie looks scared and our strikers aren’t getting goals albeit they spend all their time chasing lost causes . Jim pulled a result out of nowhere on Wednesday and deserves time to fix the problem of scoring goals. I hope we can find someone to come in and maybe wheel and deal A little . We don’t look like a team that’s going to be relegated but I’m worried about our goals for column.
-
So proud of the team last night. Felt like a win ! Well done Jim and the lads outstanding effort and the defending was brilliant.
-
I was thinking we might fancy it against a Celtic team that have several injuries , wet Wednesday night at home in December and desperately needing points. Surely full strength we must have fancied making a game of it

8 first team players out

Goodwin on radio said we played well today
He has to be joking

The team is an awful watch. Slow build up with Annick used every third pass. The striker situation doesn’t look good and the tactics are horrible to watch . They are also not working. Five home wins in 18 months is a shocking record and we do have the look of a team on the slide. No wins in 9 games now with a hard run now til the shutdown it looks grim. Jim persisting with the formation is now borderline embarrassing not to mention hopeless. Is he under any real pressure tho? It’s brutal to watch so boring and our play is predictable
Can we just accept that Livingston continue to perform better than us , above us again on a lesser budget? Or that Kilmarnock, county, St j , well , Thistle and Livi have all finished top six before. We are miles off top six much further than last year . Also for the guy slagging Obika is have him ahead of any of the three we had available today.

I think we need some answers and without this the rumour mill will continue to churn out stories.

Norrie, I said previously : The club literally don’t answer the phone, rarely reply to emails, the fan’s voice is no longer heard.
The only way they’ll take notice is -fans shouting it before the game/ half time and after the game and banners.
Support the team during the game
It’s a power struggle, not a partnership
Doing this in more than one home game? Will get noticed.
Starting tomorrow hopefully
Our club , Our VoiceCouldn’t agree more. Really hope our w7 fans don’t miss the mark with this. The club doesn’t answer the phone and in general everything from a fan’s perspective has got worse.

Let’s get the Kibble out of our club. Regroup as a fan base and get back to paying our money to own our club.

Where did you read this and we know you're worried, about almost everything.
Yes most worried about our next result but I do believe jim will dig a win out in the next month.

The attendance was announced as 3800 v county / I have read actually it was 2300? Anyone know about this. I am worried about the apathy surrounding the club at min. I look back at games before the pandemic and the stands look a fair bit busier than they do now. Sure I’m imagining the internet stream takes some away but surely after missing footy for a season our fans wanted back? Are attendances declining as they appear to be ?

Defensive signings have been good but attacking we have been found out big time. The strikers Jim has signed haven’t delivered
